Today’s song is from an obscure, less known Historical film Maharani Minal Devi-1946.
Made by Laxmi productions, Bombay, it was directed by Chimanlal Trivedi, owner of the banner and the music was by Saraswati Devi- who had started her career from Bombay Talkies. The cast was Prem Adib, Leela Desai, Durga Khote, Jagdish Sethi, Sankatha Prasad, Moni Chaterjee etc.etc. There were only 7 songs in this film, written by Neelkanth Tiwari and Swami Ramanand. The number of songs-7 was below the average of 9.8 songs for the decade of 1940.

Many of them were keen on investing their ill gotten wealth in the film industry. Thus, there was no dearth of finances in the industry.

Let us see what other things happened during this period.
